Chimham: Sa2 19:37, Sa2 19:38 to go: As Johanan and the other princes had taken a decided part against Ishmael, they had no sufficient reason to fear that the Chaldeans would revenge on them the murder of Gedaliah; but perhaps Johanan was unwilling to be superseded in the command which he had rightly assumed, and so used his influence to induce the whole company to take refuge in Egypt; and their old attachment to the Egyptians rendered them more ready to concur in this ruinous measure. Jer 42:14, Jer 42:19, Jer 43:7; Isa 30:2, Isa 30:3 Jeremiah 41:18
